Nobody Told Me This Would Happen
Contemplating her parents, whom she didn't bid farewell to, she cries aloud, expressing her unwillingness to die in such a manner. Suddenly, her surroundings change, and a man in white attire appears before her.
He informs her that her lifespan is fixed and unalterable, but if she assists him with a task, he will alter the circumstances of her death. As it turns out, the man is a deity. He explains that humans are currently harming other species in a realm called Asdyllon, and he wishes to reincarnate her into that world so she can determine the fate of humanity.
Taken aback, the young girl discloses her sensitivity and reluctance to undertake such a task. The deity assures her that if she completes the assigned task, he will reward her with special powers, including teleportation and lethal abilities. Annoyed, the young girl reveals her lifelong desire—to simply cuddle with fluffy things, as it is the only thing that soothes her weary heart.
Acknowledging her sentiments, the deity grants her special powers, stating that in the new world, she will possess the ability to tame beasts, monsters, and all living creatures, except humans. Protesting, the girl exclaims that she never agreed to the deity's request. However, the next moment, she awakens in a house, welcomed by her family. Reborn into an Osphe family, her parents christen her "Nefertime."
Nema's elder brother and sister affectionately address her as Nema, praising her cuteness. Despite their admiration, Nema still finds it hard to believe in her reincarnation. The narrator discloses that Nema is now in Larshia, the largest of Asdyllon's three continents and home to the kingdom of Gache.
Ralf, her elder brother, exudes gentlemanly qualities, while Karna, her sister, is full of energy. Even her parents are both beautiful and kind, although her father occasionally behaves in a disappointing manner.
Accompanying her is Dee, her protective dog. Engaging in activities such as eating, sleeping, receiving affection from her family, and petting fluffy animals—a life she desired in her past existence—Nema expresses gratitude to God.
The following day, Nema's mother receives an invitation to work at the royal palace. Faced with a dilemma, as her husband is busy, and her son and daughter are at the academy, she asks Nema to accompany her.
Unable to take Dee due to the palace's animal policy, Nema agrees to be on her best behavior. En route, Nema observes people interacting happily, concluding that they don't seem like those who would harm others.
Upon reaching the palace, Nema's mother casts a protective spell on her to ensure her safety during her work. After her mother departs, Nema spots a bird and attempts to follow it.
However, the bird proves too swift, leaving her fatigued. Taking a break, she is surrounded by animals, enjoying a brief moment of petting. Their interaction is abruptly interrupted as a giant White Tiger appears before her.
Owing to her bestowed powers, the enormous white tiger refrains from attacking and starts licking Nema. Overwhelmed, Nema embraces the tiger, reveling in the sensation of its fluffy fur.
The White Tiger, now identified as Lars, gently places her on its back, offering her a ride to the royal palace. Suddenly, a boy arrives, addressing the tiger as Lars and cautioning Nema that, despite his good behavior, Lars is still a beast. He urges her to dismount.
Reluctantly, the boy lifts Nema from Lars' back and cradles her in his arms. However, Nema hesitates and desires to return to the tiger. Surprised by Lars' unusual fondness for Nema, the boy inquires about her parents. She discloses her affiliation with the Osphe family and introduces herself as Nema.
Upon hearing the name "Osphe Family," the boy escorts them to an office where they meet his working father. Nema's father, shocked by the rescue tale, embraces her and expresses gratitude to the boy, referring to him as his highness.
The revelation unfolds that the boy is the prince of the kingdom of Gache. He asks Nema to extend her thanks, which she does, albeit in a somewhat unpolished manner.
A man seated beside her father is introduced as Gauldi Russ Gache, the king of the kingdom of Gache. Impressed by Nema's manners, the king invites her to visit the royal palace, promising another playdate with Lars. Later, her mother scolds her for leaving the designated room and playing with the sky tiger, the actual name of Lars.
Nema shares with her mother that she's friends with Lars, and the king himself invited her to play with him during her next visit to the royal palace. However, her mother requests a promise that she won't meet the sky tiger when anyone is watching, as Lars is a special holy beast with elemental powers.
When asked about Elemental Powers, her mother explains that magic spells draw on mana, but holy beasts use divine power, known as elementalism, to bond with their masters.
Nema, saddened by her mother's words, assures her that she'll abide by the promise. Her parents are shocked at the sudden revelation, realizing she has some form of special powers, as they initially believed only animals were fond of her.
The following day, Nema returns to the royal palace, not for play but to observe her brother and sister at school. Maids guide her and her family to the spectator area to watch the training session.
Seated on a couch, Nema inquires about the proceedings. Her father explains that school teachers use potent magic to create soldiers, and students command them with their mana for battles.
The duel between her brother Ralf and a fellow student begins, with Ralf effortlessly triumphing with his magical abilities. Nema joyfully congratulates her brother but realizes she needs to use the bathroom.
Returning from the bathroom, Nema encounters a boy named Triston bullying her brother, boasting about easily defeating him in the next match. Enraged, Nema ridicules him as a clueless individual. In response, Triston attempts to attack her, but the prince intervenes just in time.
Angrily questioning Triston's actions, the prince demands an explanation. Fearful, Triston denies any intention to harm a child. Ralf, curious about how the prince knows Nema, discovers that the prince helped her when she was lost at the palace.
When Nema retaliates, the prince suggests she become his "plaything," allowing her to freely come and go from the palace. Nema happily agrees, and the prince playfully teases her for labeling him a brute. He warns Triston that Nema is under his protection, threatening dire consequences if he harms her.
The prince, intrigued by Nema's unique black eyes, a rarity in their world, then accompanies her to the training arena, where it's now her older sister Karna's turn. Karna's test involves using magic to defeat a monster summoned by a magic circle. Activating the circle, she conjures a formidable holy beast—a fire dragon.
Alarmed, the commander instructs the teachers to protect the students. Nema's father informs the prince that while Karna excels in fire magic, her water skills are lacking. Concerned for her sister, Nema urges Karna to run, but Karna chooses to confront the holy beast.
In a daring move, Nema rushes onto the training field, saved from falling by an anonymous magical force. Approaching the fire dragon, she requests everyone refrain from attacking it.
